The Loves of Great Composers by Gustav KOBBÉ (1857 - 1918) Genre(s): Biography & Autobiography Read by: Peter Thomlinson in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Mozart and his Constance 00:21:07 - 02 - Beethoven and his 'Immortal Beloved' 00:40:51 - 03 - Mendelssohn and his Cecile 01:04:27 - 04 - Chopin and the Countess Delphine Potocka 01:26:17 - 05 - The Schumanns:Robert and Clara 01:46:04 - 06 - Franz Liszt and his Carolyne 02:09:58 - 07 - Wagner and Cosima Gustav Kobbe was a German/US music critic who worked at the time of Liszt and Wagner in particular, and was clearly in the Wagnerian rather than the Brahms camp. His unusual style of writing and his strongly romantic take on the loves of these seven composers makes for entertaining listening, even though his facts and opinions may differ from more academic writers and biographers of these composers. Each composer occupies a section or chapter, with Wagner getting the fuller account in terms of length. In fact Gustav Kobbe claims he knew Liszt and Wagner as well as Cosima Wagner - so this must be quite original and authoritative. The 19C period and its atmosphere is conveyed by Kobbe's unusual sentence construction and reads more like story telling rather than a written work.
